1. Coffee is good. But a surprise afternoon coffee date with Mom is better. Going in the memory jar for sure.
2. Why does my nail polish chip so quickly?! It barely even lasted a whole day! This reminds me of why I go through phases of not painting my nails for months, but given how ridiculously cloudy and gray our weather has been lately, I decided to cheer myself up by putting a bright and happy color on my nails (OPI’s That’s Hot).
3. Anyone remember the show Whose Line Is It Anyway? I miss it! Always good for a laugh…

4. Speaking of laughs, this just about killed me. Warning: do not read while drinking.
5. I think I’m going to have to start buying floral scented hand soaps. It’s not a good thing when I get hungry every time I wash my hands. Bath & Body Works is trying to ruin my waistline.
6. I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned this, but I’m a ninja by night. Just call me Karinka-toteka.
7. I have no idea what to do with my finished puzzle. It seems a bit counterproductive to just tear it to pieces after I spent so long putting it together, but… what else is there? I can’t exactly leave it lying on my coffee table…
8. I think current song obsessions are becoming a weekly thing here on Spoons. This week’s tune? Stompa by Serena Ryder. Kind of freaky how much like Adele she sounds.

9. I went from having no tea to basically having a year’s supply of it. Blends are amazing.
10. Time to run! I have a doctor’s appointment scheduled for this morning. Nothing specific – just a general checkup. Wish me luck!

Do you go to the doctor f or general checkups? Or just when you’re sick?
What’s your ninja name?
Do you wear nail polish often? Any tips for making it last longer?!
My nail polish chips insanely fast too – when I paint my nails myself the polish usually chips the same day, whereas when I get them done professionally they usually last about 2 days. Fail either way! I tend to get no-chip manis nowadays but if I get them too often my nails get weak and the polish starts chipping after a week. I love the ninja name guide! Hello, I’m Kishikitoka 🙂 What I used to do with puzzles is glue them onto cardboard/poster board, frame them, and hang them up! Also, that Twilight picture is HILARIOUS hahaha. I’m not a Twilight lover by any means so I love when people pick on it.
What’s going on Amanda! I’ve seen your cool little avitar all over the blogs & followed you the other day. I had to come back to tell you that I am using this Ninja chart for my Combat (kickboxing) class. I get a bit into KIAHs!!! Your blog is the bomb! Happy belated birthday! Zumoki
I definitely need to paint my nails – they’re getting gross.
I haven’t done a puzzle in forever. Gotta get on that!
coffee dates with mom are the best! I’ve been having one with my mom every afternoon since she’s been here and we’ve gotten to explore all kinds of new places! LOVE that nail polish color too…mine chips after like a day too! I’m also really impatient about letting my nails dry lol which is why I don’t do them too often…but since I’ve got nothin’ better to do now (yay surgery) I’ve been doing a lot of nail painting. I tried that Essie Fiji polish you had on instagram the other day, I guess it was in my collection and I didn’t realize it – I totally love it! so classy and pretty 🙂 As for the puzzle….hm. yeah. that’s a tough one to take apart all the hard work!
I’m horrible when it comes to waiting patiently for my nails to dry as well, which is why I use a fast drying top coat – it only takes like 2 minutes and your nails are pretty much smudge proof. Sally Hansen makes a pretty good one, as does Essie. If you don’t mind spending a bit more, then Seche Vite is probably one of the best.
Maybe you could frame the puzzle? Ha that’s the only idea I have besides tearing it up, which would be sad after all your hard work!
Major nostalgia over here! Whose line is it anyways, so funny, i can’t believe i forgot about it.
I used to spend hours (or what felt like it) painting and re-painting my nails because I’d smudge them before they dried. Waiting 30 minutes is too long for this impatient girl. 😉 Since discovering gel/shellac manicures last summer, I haven’t gone back. They last 2-3 weeks, and are nearly impossible to chip! I try to go Monday-Wednesday because my favorite place offers a $25 deal. It’s totally worth it for 2-3 weeks free of nail stress! 😉
You’re stocked on Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride for the winter! I sure hope you like it! If not, let me know, and I’ll come help you work your way through your stash. <3 xoxo
Eep! If I had to wait 30 minutes until my nails dried then I’d definitely never be painting them! I use a fast-dry top coat so they’re pretty much unsmudgeable in about 2 minutes 😉
